Wow, did not take long for this thread to go down the crapper.
Before we get all spun up on this, why don't we wait to see what the jury actually decides based on the evidence?...evidence that we don't have access to.
It is possible, just possible that Fox News and the Wash Times may not be reporting the full story or reporting the story with a bias.
According to
http://www.borderaction.org/images/3%20lawsuits.pdf This is not the first time Mr Barnett has run into trouble due to his vigilante activities.
It is possible that there is more to this story...
An Internet article search on Barnett comes up with some interesting tidbits.
